DFM - Dancehall

DFM - Dancehall is deep in Russia's listing, at 331 of 471. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

With one recorded open, DFM - Dancehall sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Russia's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The country page counts dance among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 11 entries in Russia behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 270 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

DFM - Dancehall streams at 96 kbps, under Russia's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

DFM - Dancehall streams from dfm-dancehall.hostingradio.ru. No other station in Russia is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
